the 100: * puts Tibetan descent woman in position of power*
the 100: * puts black woman in position of power*
the 100: * makes latina, disabled character one of the greatest characters in the show and makes her in charge of her own sexuality with absolute no slut shaming*
the 100: * makes half-Filipino male main male character*
the 100: * makes Korean descent male everyone’s beloved male character*
the 100: *presents big, muscled, tatooed, black guy as one of the most gentle characters who would never hurt anyone if he wasn’t made to do so by rich white male*
tumblr: but THE 100 IS RACIST!!!1111!!
BONUS:
in the 100 we have:
* teenage lesbain being the person who holds most power in the show
* teenage bisexual girl being in position of power and being main character
* white rich male being the biggest source of evil in the show
this post is the literal equivalent of “i’m not racist bc i have a black friend”
honestly educate yourselves (this is the tip of the ice berg if you want more links let me know) literally every show has problematic elements to it you can choose to ignore them if you’d like to live ignorantly but don’t throw shade on those who choose to actively engage with the media they consume.

Don’t fuckin act like you give a shit about mixed folk when you consider a half white character having a white mom racist. A decent part of him story is his lack of a father figure. His father wasn’t around for some reason.
“Um well she could have been Filipino instead”. Fuck off. Acting like half of a mixed kids ethnicity is somehow better than the other is fucking racist. Shut up. Y’all don’t care at all.
